P.v. Cato
Prior to entering a plea of guilty to possession of an assault weapon (Pen. Code, 12280, subd. (b); further undesignated references are to this code) and resisting or obstructing a police officer ( 148), defendant Dennis Dwight Cato, Jr. filed, and the trial court denied, a motion to suppress evidence obtained after a warrantless entry and search of defendants residence. ( 1538.5.)
On appeal, defendant contends the warrantless entry violated the Fourth Amendment because there were no exigent circumstances to justify it and, even if the entry was permissible, there was no justification for the warrantless search. Court reverse the judgment.
